Thanks for re-posting my original thread and I'll work on more pictures ASAP :) It's been really fun reading through this and a lot of threads I remember! This is my tank as of 3 months ago. It's the most recent I have but it's accurate. I currently have a pair of mated snowflake clown fish...

Hey folks! It's been some time but I still have my 130d running. It's been about 6-7 years now. Good to see some of the long time folks still here :) Quick question - What material are the 130d tank stands made of. Mine is still in fantastic shape after all this time but I'm curious. Is it...

Hey this might be a silly question but other than Craigslist does the US have an equivalent site to Gumtree?

Well I figure I'll update my "Clown fish in Timeout" thread here. This was the lasat update after I let him back in the tank... "Well I went and picked up the clown last night hoping his little vacation had done some good. I bought a large mirror to try that as well. It seemed to be ok for...

Ohhhh Al. So sorry to hear this but try to stay positive. Hopefully you'll get it to bounce back asap. Hang in there.

I hear ya on fish fights. After 5 years of a very peaceful tank I've just had Fish-mageddon. I'll update in my tank thread :) Wait it out a bit and see if they settle in.

+++++1 on the scolly!! Awesome job!

Some more coral pics :) Loving the growth I'm seeing.

Hey mudhutbob. Yes water flow is totally necessary :) I have my left return pointing down and my right return pointing up and to the right. That one agitates the surface and helps bring oxygen into the system. My mp10 is on the left hand glass about 2/3 of the way up and slightly towards the...

Hey BMP that's a pretty ingenious idea! I think I'll give it a shot when I go to get him :)

They were in the tank for a week and a half before I put the clown in time out. The firefish's tail was pretty much gone.

Hey everyone. About a month and a half ago I added a fire fish to the tank for my daughter. My clown didn't really care for my decision making and proceeded to take it out on the fire fish. :hammerhea I'm lucky to be friends with the owner of a LFS so he offered to board the clown for me. He...

Hey Lip. How long will that backup last in case of a power outage?

Hey BigAl. Yeah that crossed my mind but I've been using the same blue and white pads from StevieT/inTank for a good 4 years now. Also it doesn't happen consistently just twice now in the past two weeks. I say just twice but it's still enough to make me nervous.
